The Equine Instructional Facility, located at the Equine Center, was funded by the
Higher Educational Equine Trust and Revolving Fund. It opened its doors on October
31, 1998, and added the MSU Equine Science departmental offices, a riding preparation
area, two tack rooms, a round pen, indoor arena, and a classroom to the Center’s facilities.In 2013, an additional classroom, offices, and meeting areas were created to house
the growing program.

The University’s Equine Program allows students both traditional classroom learning
as well as hands-on opportunities in the areas of equine health care management, reproduction,
exercise physiology, and nutrition. In addition, there are opportunities for students
to be involved with the Intercollegiate Horse Show teams, both hunt seat and stock
seat, the Rodeo Team, and the Dressage Club. All teams are involved in various competitions
throughout the academic year.
